Mark,  How about adding a bit-map positioner where selecting a point on
the bit map would return the X,Y position and or the colour of the point?

How about a bitmap class that displays an image file rather than a
bitmap matrix.

Roger,

	As Mark pointed out to me when I asked something similar, he
*has* made the preparations for users to create their own classes
which can subsequently be added to future FORMS versions.  Its not so
hard and a cheap way to becom immortalized in software.

Has anyone out there written a SHELL-SCRIPT or PERL-SCRIPT to convert forms
programs from version 1.2 to version 1.3?

If so, is there a way to get these scripts?

Thanks.
